@Marinate1016 Actually his Balls are taken. Shaft is with him. He can pee but cannot reproduce. Nit a spoiler, but Later on in the Manga, his balls comes back but shaft disappears ๐Ÿ˜.....but the reason why? is a spoiler.

She said weenie tho so was that just a mistranslation
@Marinate1016
It's her way of cursing Boys/Males* ,Turbo Granny has a backstory. It'll later be explained, I won't spoil it. But for some reason this Ghost Only hunts Males. & That's her Dialogue cuz, Well.... ๐Ÿ’ฌ
In this ep, Momo told Takakura not to run away from her as she takes it as a challenge and place a curse on the person by defeating him. Apparently, no one's faster than Turbo Granny. She eats the pp & curse the man.
it wasn't a mistranslation. That's how it was in the manga as well. The author didn't give much details on weather it's the whole thingy or just the balls which is lost, but You'll know it on your own in a few eps, because she loses the Balls which causes some trouble.
Also, when the balls come back after a while, his shaft disappears, and that's when he can't pee and trouble starts again. So it's understandable. This show is Bizzare. You can't tie knot to a single theory, it shows weirder powers later on.

@Marinate1016 I told ya, it wasn't a mistranslation that's how it was in the manga, but the balls which she actually took from Takakura and lost it. Just keep patience for another week. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

I am going into this show blind, I never read the manga or heard anything about it before now, so this is new to me, first off all, that opening was awesome and the animation looks really solid.

This show reminds me of Mob Psycho 100 kind of, and I like the idea of these two completely different people just coming across each other and becoming friends.

also the ending was very pretty funny and somewhat surprising.

Science Saru has some pedigree behind it. But on the level of modern Shonen? There they still had something to prove.

With Madhouse on Jujutsu Kaisen and Chainsaw Man, Wit Studio on Spy x Family, IG Production on Kaiju no 8, and Clover Works on Elusive Samurai we are in a new age of Shonen getting incredible powerhouse productions. Even when maybe Elusive Samurai didn't earn that match made in heaven production team comparing it to more successful Shonen Jump entries it's still incredible and stellar that it exists but when it comes to Jump adaptations it can be a crap shoot. While Yozakura Family get Silver Link and faulter, Blue Box gets Telecom Animation Film which has a lot to prove itself (fingers crossed). and let's just hope and see what Sakamoto Days gets with TMS Entertainment, which delivered a mostly good but uneven production of Dr Stone.

I'm blown away so far. I would never have pegged Dandadan as a great Science Saru anime. Maybe after the normal shonen anime look I was cautiously worried. There is great variety in anime style but Science Saru has a Capital "L" Look to it. A lot of the studio's portfolio comes from it's former history as Masaki Yuasa's studio which added to its specific in-house weirdness. They've split creatively and have been making less than mid-budget projects since (except Heike) but always maintain that loosey goosey vibe.

Boy have they married weird abstract arthouse vibes with punchy exciting action/horror. And OF COURSE because this is DANDADAN!!! I mean if there was any shonen anime to take some creative oddball liberties with the traditional anime look it SHOULD be this anime. And while first episodes are not indicators of quality across the board (Kaiju no 8 cough cough) there is something uniquely spirited about this anime's production feel that makes me happy.

It looks incredible but doesn't seem "WOW that's impossible to animate". Take more liberty with creative angles, editing, and transitions. The interpretation of movement feels more revolutionary than the actual quality of the movement. But also still very high quality too! If this turns out to be a high-load for the animators I wouldn't be surprised but if it turns out to be lower than the average work-load compared to other shonen episodes I also would NOT be surprised either.

Also... holy sh*t Creepy Nuts does NOT miss. Also hilarious they got Creepy Nuts on the OP considering the plot of the show ;)

The premiere of the most highly anticipated show of the season is here! A wild setup to this mishmash of occult and supernatural. Momo and Okarun each having their separate affinities for things most people find odd. I really liked this first episode showing us the personality of the two main characters. Momo just trying to fit in and find her a dark brooding type of guy to fulfill her fantasy. Okarun more nerdy resident alien magazines in class dreaming of the stars. It's very funny how they each ran into the others assertions of what were real. Momo was nice sticking up for Okarun to those class bullies. Leading to them testing each other basically on their beliefs of aliens and ghosts. I gotta say the art and animation in this episode was wild! Even before things got crazy near the end we saw how the style of this show was everywhere. Once they each got to their destinations things really cranked up. Okarun running into that crazy ghost granny making a strange offer about his dong. Momo being abducted by rape aliens. That's the only real negative about this show so far is how aggressively sexual both the ghost and the aliens were. It grosses me out a lot. Especially the attempted rape, I don't feel that was very necessary. Thankfully Okarun teleported through the phone and stopped two of the aliens before Momo broke out of her restraints to shatter the third. The crazy colors and art really brought that final scene together. This show is already a wild ride that I'm very interested in seeing unfold.

Wow... wowwowwow
๏ปฟI had nice expectations from the cover... Then the opening was fire... then like 95%+ of the episode (I didn't even think about the nut gobbler, but that's messed up too, I was more focused on how fucked being brutally raped and/or having your uterus torn out).
๏ปฟI am going to give this a pre-emptive 10/10
๏ปฟShe's an idiot for giving money just to date someone, but respect for no putting out.
๏ปฟThose 2 are an amazing match, I hope she introduces his fantasy prince to grandma (and tells her her training saved her from extreme trauma)
๏ปฟI have been watching so many 5/10's, and occasional 8/10s, but wow.

Visually, the episode makes a positive impression. The soundtrack from the trailer was used in this episode, and it sounds really nice.
I wouldn't call myself a fan of this series(no plot, just action + fanservice), but I'll still watch at least the first season, cause it seems the Science SARU studio really did justice to the visual artstyle of manga.

It's a character driven story. it's about the relationships and interactions between characters that have to deal with a world of chaos. It's good because you don't know where the story is going.

Almost every other shonen tells you how it's gonna end and gives you a path to that ending. I wanna be hokage, Pirate King, Wizard King, strongest in the universe, etc.

DanDaDan breaks that cycle and shows you what it really would be like in a world where ghosts and aliens were found out to be real.

If it's not your thing, NBD, but it's more than just fan service and action. Also, the fan service is mainly in the first chapter or so. There's not too much of it overall. Hope you end up enjoying the show!

I'm also a huge MIA fan!

As someone who have read manga multiple times... my expectations weren't met.

They were blown out of the stratosphere.

Studio Saru didn't just nail it, they casually created the best anime of the season. What is this??? How is this even more punk, magnificent and catchy than the source material??? What's with the mind-blowing effects and creepy occult atmosphere?!

Seriously, I am beyond amazed, the animation, the voice acting!! ;___; I am so happy it looks insane.

@Zeemod155 Mission: Yozakura Family's adaptation has been much better than Elusive Samurai and Kaiju No. 8's imo from content adapted to the passion and effort into breathing new life into the work. Having a top notch studio and budget doesn't mean much when your planning isn't great.

That OP was amazing, the animation is awesome, I love these characters so far, and I'm so excited to see more. I get the feeling this is probably going to be the show I look forward to the most for this season lol nothing else has really caught my eye so far.

The funny thing is, I actually saw the manga online while looking for something new to read, but I passed on it, and man I regret it now.

I need that next episode, and I need more of Momo ๐Ÿ˜ Momo is best girl

omfg top 3 new gen is finally here and i love this adaptation already. i'll never forget when i first read chapter 1 of the manga and was blown away, and science saru did the same with this. i fucking love the opening, especially seeing momo dance in the visuals. turbo granny ending is such a good choice as well. i love how weird it is, my only gripe would be that i think science saru is doing a bit too much with the goofy faces, but i still think it's great. all in all i'm so happy to finally see momo and okarun animated and with amazing animation and directing to boot. top tier premier episode, can't wait to see more of it. also luffy and zoro's VAs killed it as well lmao and okarun's VA is surprisingly hilarious as well. the manga readers are winning with this one.

THIS WAS AMAZINGGGGGGG im so happy finally seeing this for the first time since the opening was being played all over twitter and tiktok (i hd to dodge all of them to see the episode myself haha) im glad Science Saru finally found their token Shounen anime like MAPPA with JJK and Bones with MHA it’s cool seeing another studio find their shounen anime to me๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ

The opening was fucking EYE CANDY man Okarun Momo Aira and Granny all looked so good and clean and crisp like science Saru put their souls into this man especially into Aira her sticking her tongue out and closing her eye is just so cute and kinda hot of her to do๐Ÿ˜ฉ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Lastly just wanna say since I’m a fanservice enjoyer…I FORGOT MOMO IS FUCKING STACKEDDDDDDDD I kept staring at her tiddies the entire time she was undressed๐Ÿ˜ฉ๐Ÿ˜ฉ๐Ÿ˜ฉ๐Ÿ˜ฎ‍๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿ˜ฉ๐Ÿ˜ฎ‍๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿ˜ฉ๐Ÿ˜ฎ‍๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿ˜ฉ๐Ÿ˜ฎ‍๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿ˜ฉ๐Ÿ˜ฎ‍๐Ÿ’จ

Do you all new fans like the kind of dynamic this MC-duo brings to series? Ayase having about half to 3/4" over Okarun is very rare and results in funny and equally rare interactions.
Both early gurren lagan and FMA are the first with similar setting that come to mind.
